2 motorcyclists killed in crash at Cassat and Normandy

Van involved in double fatal motorcycle crash. The driver was suspected to be under the influence.

A 31-year-old motorcyclist and his 29-year-old passenger were killed Thursday night after a van hit them on Cassat Avenue near Normandy Boulevard, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Jason L. Sanders and passenger Ashley B. Goetzinger, both of Jacksonville, were ejected from their Harley-Davidson and died at the scene of the 10:15 p.m. crash, the Highway Patrol said.

Investigators said the motorcyclists were north on Cassat in the inside lane approaching Normandy as James C. Alligood, 50, of Atlantic Beach was making a left turn in a van. The front of the motorcycle hit the van.

Sanders and Goetzinger were not wearing helmets, the Highway Patrol said. Alligood was wearing a seat belt and had minor injuries. The crash is still being investigated.
